REPORT ON THE DIVISION OF GRAPHIC ARTS 

 By R. P. Tolman, Assistant Curator 



The principal activities of this division have been the holding of 

 loan exhibitions and increasing and improving the existing exhibition 

 series. Much valuable material has been received in 100 accessions, 

 totaling 1,652 specimens, including those for the section of photo- 

 graphy; 881 loans were returned, leaving 771 specimens still in the 

 Museum. The total number of specimens at the close of the year 

 was 23,707. Over 200 new specimens have been placed on exhibition 

 in graphic arts and 30 in photography, while 65 others were shown 

 for three months, giving some idea of the progress that has been 

 made.
